R.J. Umberger

R.J. Umberger was a healthy scratch four times down the stretch for the Coach Todd Richards said it was because he wanted more speed in the lineup. It’s a decision that has Umberger speeding for the exit. The veteran forward requested a trade from the Blue Jackets, and GM Jarmo Kekalainen will apparently honor the request, according to Aaron Portzline’s sources.

Richards is the one who needs to go. He got totally out coached by Pittsburg. He is a boring coach and totally over rated. This is typical of the organization in cols they get rid of the good players for unproven youth and over pay for worn out older players that barely produce.. Please get rid of Richards
